"What, Erlang, do you really want to back down?"

"Yes, father, now Chengqian's skills in governing affairs are becoming more and more sophisticated."

"Withdrawing the road and going to the state, and establishing a system of provinces, prefectures, and counties, we can already follow the rules and regulations, and we don't have to worry about it anymore."

"Chengqian and a group of important officials in the court also got along quite well. All industries in the Tang Dynasty were prosperous, the surrounding countries were more respectful, and the tribute was endless. There was no worry inside and no trouble outside."

"It can be said that the child has already done what he should do, so he should take good care of his body."

Li Yuan stroked his long beard and looked at his own son who abruptly took the emperor's position from him.

For this position, his two sons also died for it.

But today, he was sitting next to him, with frost on his temples, telling himself that he decided to abdicate on his own initiative.

"You...don't miss it?" Li Yuan narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

Facing his father's scrutinizing gaze, Li Shimin nodded slowly but firmly.

"The child has no regrets."

Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded, and gently patted Li Shimin's shoulder with his big hand, with a strange and authentic expression.

"In this case, after you abdicate, what should you call me. The father is the Supreme Emperor, and Chengqian is the emperor.

As for you, Erlang... Well, the daughter-in-law has changed from a queen to a queen mother, so you, Erlang, are the emperor?

No, the emperor might sound better, but you can't be the emperor with the father, the generation is wrong, don't you think Erlang? "

Throwing down such a sentence, His Majesty the Great Tang Emperor patted his **** and stood up.

"The old man went to winter swimming first. Erlang, after you abdicate, pay attention to your body. If you can't do it, you will also practice winter swimming. You will strengthen your body. Don't let the old man send white-haired people to black-haired people again..."

Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and his wife stared dumbfoundedly at the Great Tang Emperor who was leaving.

"... Guanyin servant girl, what do you mean by my father?"

Li Shimin wiped his face, feeling as if he was targeted by his own father.

Empress Changsun looked at her father-in-law's back, turned her head, saw her husband's dark face, and suppressed a smile.

Tried to frown and think hard for a while. "Husband, in fact, I feel that father-in-law is not very happy to change the honorary title of Supreme Emperor..."

"That means I can't even be the Supreme Emperor as a husband?"

Li Shimin's face was sullen, and he complained in a low voice, but he also knew why his father had such a problem.

Isn't it because I robbed my father of the emperor's position back then, and now, my father is definitely not willing to let me compete with him for the position of emperor.

So what to do? Think of a higher title for your own father?

Seeing that her husband was trapped, Empress Changsun also thought of a place with her husband, and whispered to her husband.

"Husband..."

"Father's words are not entirely unreasonable."

Li Shimin had a helpless and bitter smile on his face.

"In the past, I took my father's title of emperor. Today, I dare not compete with my father anymore. It is just a title of abdication..."

Hearing her husband's words, Empress Changsun felt relieved and her bright eyes rolled.

"In the Western Han Dynasty, the title of Supreme Emperor came from Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty. Today, there is Supreme Emperor in our Tang Dynasty, and the husband abdicates, so he should also be honored.

The concubine feels that what father-in-law said just now, the emperor, or the emperor..."

Li Shimin stroked his long beard, suddenly turned his face, and looked at this beloved wife who shared weal and woe with him and was dependent on each other.

"After my husband abdicates, Guanyin's maidservant will also be titled Empress Dowager. If so, then I will add the title of Empress Dowager to avoid making my father feel bad."

"The concubine naturally listens to her husband. The husband is the emperor, and the concubine is the queen mother, so they complement each other."

"Haha, okay...then it's settled." Li Shimin said with a hearty smile.

I don't even want to be an emperor, but to be a queen

It's not impossible for the emperor, as the so-called world changes and time changes, it's okay to change the title.

Civil and military officials, can they still object?

If they are paired together, wouldn't that be the Empress Dowager? Eh... Forget it, forget it, I can't control that much.

In the words of Cheng Sanlang, there must be a way for the car to go to the front of the mountain, and he will have a headache at that time, not to mention whether there is a chance for this headache to be discussed.

No, no, the title of the Supreme Emperor will not change, but after my mother-in-law becomes the Empress Dowager, the concubines of my father will have to be adjusted to the previous generation, and all of them will become the Empress Dowager.

Li Shimin wiped his face, put aside those wild thoughts, and said to his beloved wife beside him.

"When my husband abdicates, I will take you with me and take you to see the world.

Now the railway from Luoyang to Chang'an is about to be laid, and by that time, we will just take the steam train that travels thousands of miles that day without sleep.

Go back to Chang'an and have a look at the early years, praying for your husband and Guanyin's servant, the ginkgo tree planted at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I don't know how big it has grown now..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Empress Changsun gently rested her head on her husband's arms, with a small smile on the corner of her mouth.

The merits of my husband's ruling in these years, seeing that the Tang Dynasty is so prosperous and powerful, it is far better than the previous Sui Dynasty.

For what my husband has done these years, who in history can compare with him? Presumably the father-in-law should also feel relieved.

In the Yin Shang Kingdom, the capital has now moved to a larger plain.

The water network here is densely covered, and the transportation is convenient. More importantly, the capital of the king named New Yin Capital has been built into a large city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people.

The Yin Shang Kingdom fully imitated the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the state system or the system of administrative officials.

With the aid of the Tang Dynasty and through trade, the strength and population of the Yin Shang Kingdom have greatly increased in a short period of time.

Now, in the Yin Shang Kingdom, there are eight thousand elites in iron armor alone.

Moreover, the instructors are all Lieutenant Guo Yi from the Datang Army, although this military force is nothing compared to Datang.

However, with the eight thousand elites of the Yin Shang Kingdom, it is enough to wipe out the surrounding tribes and unify the land with a radius of thousands of miles.

A teller of a Han and Tang commercial bank just said goodbye to a merchant from the Yin Shang Kingdom who spoke fluent Tang Mandarin, and welcomed a new customer.

It's just that this guest's Tang Mandarin is not very fluent, and he stutters.

But the teller of Hantang Commercial Bank patiently showed a friendly smile and listened patiently to the customer's appeal.

Now, the Yin Shang Kingdom has announced that Datang Mandarin will be used as the common language of the Yin Shang Kingdom. In addition, Chinese characters are also fully implemented within the Yin Shang Kingdom.

Compared with the surrounding tribes that still use stone tools, the present Yin Shang Kingdom has already worn clothes made of white cloth and silk sold by the Tang Dynasty.

All kinds of metal utensils trafficked from Datang were used, and even the iron armor on their soldiers was made of iron materials exchanged from Datang by trade.

After all, although the iron mines of the Yinshang Kingdom have been found, the amount of iron ore mined there is not high enough to meet the needs of the entire Yinshang Kingdom.

On the contrary, in the area currently controlled by the Yin Shang Kingdom, the prospecting experts from Datang discovered huge silver mines and copper mines here.

In addition to these silver and copper mines that can be used as the main trade materials, the Yin Shang Kingdom also has its own specialties.

For example, in this land, there are densely packed rubber trees, and the amount of rubber harvested every year is an astronomical figure.

And these harvested rubber will be sold to Datang after initial processing here.

It is said that Cheng Sanlang, the great benefactor of the Yin Shang Kingdom, especially likes this kind of treasure.

Of course, the Lord of the Shang Dynasty also realized that this special product could be exchanged for many good treasures from the Tang Dynasty.

Decided to follow the suggestion of the prime minister and great priest to return to Shang, and invited Tang Guo

Send in technicians.

Under their guidance, rubber trees began to be planted on a large scale in exchange for more necessities from Datang.

As for the prince Li Guanhai who studied in Datang before, he also returned a few months ago.

Now, the older king entrusted the prince who had returned from his studies with a heavy responsibility, and handed over half of the eight thousand elites to his hands.

#####

"Why, dare not?" Cheng Qibao, who was slim and handsome, was in the room at the moment, wiping the horizontal knife with the beautiful cloud pattern in his hand with a clean white cloth.

"How could I not dare?" Li Xiang was immediately unhappy when he heard the young lady's words. He straightened his neck and held his head high.

"For my young lady, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, I dare to go back and forth a few times."

The corners of Cheng Qibao's mouth slightly raised secretly, and his bright eyes gave Li Xiang a sideways look.

"Dare to go to mountains of swords and seas of fire, but dare not to see my father?"

"Who says I don't dare, I just think, Miss Sister, can you go with me? The main reason is that General Cheng puts a lot of pressure on me. I'm afraid I'll say the wrong thing then."

"Hehe... If you don't go, then forget it."

"No, no, no, I'll go, I'll go now." Seeing the young lady getting up and about to leave, Li Xiang jumped up in a hurry.

Then he rushed to the door, gritted his teeth a little bit, then turned his head, and smiled at Cheng Qibao who was sitting quietly behind the table, standing with a knife.

"Sister Qibao, no matter what, I will marry you for the rest of my life."

Throwing down such a sentence, Li Xiang gritted his teeth, gritted his teeth, and walked quickly outside.

Kankan walked out of the courtyard gate, and saw General Cheng with a ferocious bearded face, with a look of no emotion, directly blocking the courtyard gate.

The moment he saw General Cheng, the courage he had mustered up deflated like a balloon whose air had been directly drained.

"Zhang, Zhang..."

"What is it?"

"people…"

"Who is it?"

"My father-in-law, please accept my son-in-law's respect."

"..." General Cheng looked at Li Xiang, whose legs softened and knelt down in front of him. After a while, he didn't know whether he should kick the boy's feet or help him up first.

"Your Highness, please hurry up, Husband, don't make things difficult for the child..."

At this time, Mrs. Cui walked over, smiling and looking at the grandson of the emperor who had been infatuated with his daughter for many years.

Feeling that his daughter was about to be abducted, General Cheng, who was so distressed that he was about to bleed, let out a muffled snort.

"Child? This kid is trying to trick us Qibao? Is this what a child did?"

Cui gave her husband a slight push, dumbfounded.

"...The children are all grown up."

Hearing this, General Cheng heheed, and was about to carry on, when he heard a low call from the courtyard that seemed to turn from embarrassment into anger.

"father!"

As soon as this sound came out, General Cheng couldn't help feeling sour. "Oh, forget it, the old man doesn't bother to care about it, what's the matter with love."

Li Xiang couldn't help being overjoyed when he saw General Cheng go away in his body, and he raised his voice and shouted loudly.

"Thank you, father-in-law, thank you, mother-in-law..."

"It's too early, Your Highness, you still know that your parents and Your Majesty will be met, otherwise..."

"Hey, mother-in-law, don't worry, my grandfather loves me the most. He already knew what I'm thinking, and he definitely won't object. My father and master have such a good relationship, and I'm sure he would be happy for our two families to get closer..."

Watching this brazenly fled into the mansion, he fled to adulthood, but he was still such a cheeky grandson of the emperor.

Cui shook her head helplessly, but fortunately, this kid was being manipulated to death by his daughter.

The two can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and even if they marry him, the daughter will be considered a good match.

boom

Boom, boom, boom...

A train of giant steel beasts with only five carriages was running on the rails laid on the sleepers.

This is a train from Tongguan to Luoyang. The front of the steam locomotive is billowing with smoke and steam.

And behind the front of the steam locomotive, there is a coal car hanging, and behind it is a normal passenger car.

This is the eastern project of the Luochang Line undertaken by the Hantang Commercial Bank, and it has been fully inspected and completed.

And these two days coincided with the days of Xiumu, the prince of the Tang Dynasty was invited by the minister of the Ministry of Education and the grandson of the Taibao.

I am glad to board the first train bound for Tongguan, and feel the refreshing feeling of rapid progress.

Don't look at the steam locomotive driving vigorously, but these passenger cars are all carefully crafted.

Just like at this moment, the walls of the carriage where Prince Li Chengqian and the others stayed were covered with thick materials to block the entry of noise.

Even the windows on both sides of the carriage are double-glazed for sound insulation.

Therefore, I dare not say that needles can be heard in the compartment, but the sound insulation effect is definitely better than that of the green-skinned old trains of later generations.

#####

At this moment in the carriage, Li Chengqian's expression was very serious, his eyes were serious, and he looked at the bamboo card in his hand.

Cheng Sanlang and Yu Zhining sat diagonally across from each other, and they both carefully protected their respective cards to avoid being seen by others.

The reason for playing cards was naturally that everyone had already enjoyed the scenery outside the train, and everyone was getting bored. In this case, playing a few bamboo cards can be regarded as a pastime.

"One pair of seven..." After deliberating for a long time, Li Chengqian picked up two bamboo cards with his right hand and threw them on the desk.

"Brother Chu Bi, my father intends to announce his abdication on New Year's Day..."

Cheng Sanlang was not at all surprised when he heard the news, unless the old man who had been **** suddenly tied it up again.

Otherwise, after the abdication, the title of Emperor of the Tang Dynasty must fall on Li Chengqian's head.

"That's naturally a good thing. I'm here to congratulate Your Highness first. A pair of nine."

"One-on-one, I also congratulate Your Highness." Yu Zhining also hurriedly congratulated.

"One to two, I never thought that my younger brother would become the first king in history to have both the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Emperor."

Speaking of this, Li Chengqian couldn't help grinning, but then felt something was wrong, so he quickly pursed his lips and controlled his expression.

"Pass... This shows that the Tang royal family is harmonious, so that the four generations can live together."

Yu Zhining also nodded in agreement, and also yelled with a smile.

"This is really four generations living under one roof. If His Royal Highness, Grandson, works hard, maybe it will be possible for five generations to live under one roof."

Hearing this, Li Chengqian couldn't help but secretly glanced at Cheng Sanlang, and then at Yu Zhining.

Seeing the look from His Royal Highness, Yu Zhining couldn't help but wiped his face.

Looking at Cheng Sanlang, hesitated for a long time, then cleared his throat, and said to Cheng Sanlang.

"That little Cheng Taibao, I don't know how your father feels about His Highness the Grandson?"..."

Hearing this, Cheng Sanlang raised his head, glanced at Yu Zhining, and then glanced at the prince who seemed a little nervous.

It seems that everyone is not used to dealing with their own father, the number one bully in the Tang Dynasty.

But it's okay, whoever makes himself the spokesperson of the old Cheng family, who is a heir to poetry and books, has a great say in this aspect.

"His Royal Highness, let the young highness handle this matter by himself. The young highness is smart, and the minister has already explained the truth to my mother. I reckon that this matter is probably close to ten."

"Maybe when we return to Luoyang, we will be able to hear good news from His Royal Highness."

"Okay, okay, it's really hard to deal with you, Brother Bi. Although that kid Xiang'er jumped a little, he's calmed down a lot now..."

Li Chengqian, who was relieved, also heaved a sigh of relief.

, and began to advertise for his evil son.

The important thing is, that kid Li Xiang has always liked the Cheng family's seventh son, and he couldn't stop him.

What's more, being able to get closer to the old Cheng's family, whether it's me or my parents, is happy to see it happen.

At this moment, Deng Chengxin walked over quickly and greeted this side. Lunch has been prepared, and General Fang Er and His Royal Highness Qi Wang have already started to work, please hurry up.

Fang Jun and Li Ke, who had been squatting in the dining car for a long time, had already started to move their chopsticks at this moment.

The red soup was gurgling and steaming, and the white slices of meat were rinsed in the boiling soup until they curled up.

I picked it up, poked it a few times into the dipping water made of garlic and sesame oil, stuffed it into my mouth, and chewed happily.

Li Ke saw that Fang Jun started to feast, holding up his chopsticks, looking hesitant, so he immediately looked at Fang Jun in a daze.

"I said, Brother Wei, what's wrong with you, this one has your favorite duck intestines, eat it quickly..."

Li Ke subconsciously moved his hips, pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, and finally took the duck intestines and rinsed them in the red oil pot.

Li Ke couldn't help raising his eyebrows when it tasted delicious. After a short time, the duck intestines were eaten with a few chopsticks.

Thinking about doing it again, I couldn't help hesitating when I thought of the burning and painful feeling behind me at that time yesterday.

"By the way, Jun, do you feel that eating too much spicy food will make your stomach feel uncomfortable?"

"Yes, not only my stomach is uncomfortable, but the main thing is that my buttocks are hot and uncomfortable."

"Then you still dare to eat like this? For my brother, I have hot pot every day these days, and I have something like that..."

"Hehe, brother De, you are so afraid. Brother Chubi has already told my younger brother that after a while, we will set up an anorectal hospital called Huadong in Luoyang."

"Anorectal? Specialist?" Li Ke's face suddenly turned dark, what does it mean.

Isn't this **** making everyone's hidden illness public? Let people die collectively?

"What's the matter, do you know? When I went last time, the anorectal departments in the hospitals in Luoyang were all overcrowded. Alas...Speaking of it, it's all caused by Brother Chu Bi."

Fang Jun finally poked the dipping water in his bowl with his chopsticks with a sad expression.

Since Brother Da Chubi started to promote chili in Datang, various delicacies cooked with chili have won the hearts of countless people.

But what followed was this very delicious delicacy, which led to a surge in the number of patients with unmentionable diseases. Even his young Fang Xingren actually suffered from such unmentionable diseases.

In desperation, I had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Brother Chu Bi, fortunately I got Brother Chu Bi's advice.

The person who went directly to him was the head and chief physician of the anorectal department of Luoyang No. 1 Hospital, brother Chu Bi's younger brother, the old driver with decades of experience in anorectal disease treatment.

A kind of ointment was prescribed, squeezed into it, and in an instant, the whole world became extremely cool.

"I've had that kind of baby until now, little brother, every time I feel..."

"Oh? There is still such a good medicine? Brother Jun, you are too unjust, aren't you? You have such a good medicine, why don't you hurry up and show it to Brother Wei?"

"Brother De, you also..."

"Nonsense! Hurry up. Otherwise, every time I eat hot pot, I will be shocked and scared."

"Third brother, Fang Erlang, what are you muttering about? You don't eat such a good dish, yet you still have time to chat..."

At this moment, Li Chengqian came on foot, seeing these two men muttering furtively there, he couldn't help but be very happy.

After Li Ke made an embarrassing but polite haha ​​and perfunctory past.

When everyone started to move their chopsticks, Li Ke approached Cheng Sanlang and asked in a low voice.

This made Cheng Sanlang, who was messing with his intestines, very unhappy.

"I said, brother, what are you doing? If you are sick, you need to be cured. Don't cover it up. Learn from Brother Jun."

"I'll ask Deng Xinxin to bring you two tubes of hemorrhoid ointment later on, feel free to eat it boldly,

Don't stress. "

"!!" Brother Chu Bi's words exposed the dark disease in an instant, Fang Jun and Li Ke, who were dead, their faces darkened instantly~www.readwn.com~ On the other side, Li Chengqian, who wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, and Yu Yu Zhi Ning couldn't help tightening his chrysanthemum, feeling uneasy in his heart.

"Okay, okay, brother Chu Bi, eat and eat, don't expose the faults of others, this is not good..."

"Yes, yes, Xiaocheng Taibao, come here, hurry up and eat meat..."

Standing not far away, the Cheng family members and the prince's guards had weird expressions, looking at the nobles who had thrown off their arms and were eating hot pot...

"Brother Xinxin, what...where can you sell the hemorrhoid ointment your young master mentioned?"

"Don't look at me with that strange look, I'm asking for my friend."

"Yes, I also have friends who are a little unhappy."

"Ha ha…"
